Industry-leading technical expertise

We have the resources, experience, and in-house engineering expertise to meet your project requirements: big or small.

In-House Engineering Excellence, since 1977

We have been selling and renting new and used shipping containers as well as manufacturing custom enclosures since 1977. We take pride in our excellent customer service and in providing the highest-quality product at competitive prices. We strive to maintain a large inventory of new and ex-rental shipping containers for sale and rent in Western Canada, with 5 yards across BC and Alberta.

We offer a wide range of secure storage, modular building, and enclosure solutions that can be customized to suit your needs. Custom manufacturing services are provided at our plant on Mitchell Island in Vancouver, British Columbia. Container modifications range from installing an extra door to building a container office or constructing complex industrial enclosures. Engineering services are available.

“At ContainerWest, we have honed our abilities and continue to adapt with the industry to provide unique containerized solutions for all ranges of customers.”
